Institut Pasteur de Tunis (IPT):
The IPT is a research institution founded in 1883. IPT is under the supervision of the Ministry of Health and is part of the Université El Manar of Tunis (Ministry of high Education). The missions of the institute are: Public Health Laboratory activities (PHL), Research on infectious diseases, and R/D on vaccines. Research programs are mainly oriented towards local health problems such as leishmaniais, viral hepatitis, and scorpion venoms. The group of Bioinformatics and Modelling of the IPT is hosted by the Laboratoire d’Immunopathologie Vaccinologie et Génétique Moléculaire (LIVGM), and exists since the beginning of 2005. Its present research activities include: genome annotation, EST clustering and modelling of the host/parasite response to Leishmania infection. It consists of two senior scientists, two PhD students and one MSc student

Centre de Biotechnology de Sfax (CBS):
Bioinformatics activity started at CBS in 2001 with the settingup of a research and service unit of bioinformatics. This unit currently includes one senior researcher, one engineer and four Phd students. Activities include sequence annotation (service) and three research programs: ab initio prediction of short eukaryote genes, statistical modelling by Bayesian networks approach of signal transduction pathways and statistical analysis of human sequence variation data (haplotype reconstruction and linkage disequilibrium). Activities of the Bioinformatics unit could be found at the website: http://www.cbs.rnrt.tn/ and the research activity report is available under request to Bioinformatics@cbs.rnrt.tn. Although the computing facilities are good, there is still a need for trained human resources to strengthen bioinformatics capacities at CBS, particularly in structural bioinformatics.

Sandelin group

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:12:58 -0500

Sandelin group have a deep interest in most biology, but focus on gene regulation and the many areas that are connected with this, including transcriptomics, epigenetics and technological and informatics aspects.

The group is both computational and experimental.

We ask biological questions to large datasets made using novel genomics techniques, with the help of computers. One of the strengths in the group are the many connections to high-profile experimental laboratories which supply data to be analyzed.

National Training on Bioinformatics Computational Tools for Microbial Research Nov 19 to 30, 2013

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:49:34 -0500

Agricultural research in modern scientific arena is being represented by proper integration among various research fields of biological, chemical and physical sciences, because this field encompasses many more complexities of biology in nature. In the era of fast accumulating biological data coming out from the research on many crop plants, live stocks and microbes and the impact of changing climate, habitat and other interrelations on these biological entities, bioinformatics has come forward across the globe to solve the problems of analysis, prediction, storage, management, pattern recognition, submission, retrieval and storage of the data to find out a fruitful outcome. This area is becoming increasingly important in the context of systems biology approach where a holistic approach is required to understand the biology and chemistry of the biological entities and their behavior during environmental interactions to resolve the harmful impact of biotic or abiotic causes on crop plants, animals, fishes, livestock sector, beneficial insects as well as microbes. The National Training program on ‘Computational Tools for Microbial Research” is an initiative for the capacity building of NARS scientists/researchers in this most emerging area and fast developing area of i.e. agricultural bioinformatics.

Mike Ritchie Lab primary research focus is the detection of susceptibility genes for common diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, among others. The approaches will involve the development and application of new statistical methods with a focus on the detection of gene-gene interactions associated with human disease.

Gene expression and protein expression patterns between normal and non-normal tissues is a growing area of research that may lead to the identification of candidate genes for understanding the etiology of common, complex diseases.
